First Israeli strike on Beirut since ceasefire targets Hezbollah commander
Israel has carried out an airstrike in Beirut for the first time since the start of a ceasefire with Lebanon.
A statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the strike was aimed at a Hezbollah commander.
It is the first reported strike on the Lebanese capital since April 8, when a series of attacks in Beirut resulted in more than 350 deaths.
Clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have continued despite a US-brokered ceasefire announced last month.
